NINEVEH AND ITS REMAINS: being a Narrative of Researches and Discoveries
amidst the Ruins of Assyria. With an account of the Chaldean Christians of
Kurdistan; the Yezidis, or Devil-worshippers; and an Enquiry into the
Manners and Arts of the Ancient Assyrians. By AUSTEN H. LAYARD, D.C.L.
"This is, we think, the most extraordinary work of the present age, whether
with reference to the wonderful discoveries it describes, its remarkable
verification of our early biblical history, or the talent, courage, and
perseverance of its author. We have had our Bruces and Mungo Parks, as well
as our Parrys, Franklins, Backs, and Rosses, but we question whether a more
enlightened or a more enterprising traveller than Mr. Layard is to be met
with in the annals of our modern English history."--_From the_ TIMES.

THE DEVOTIONAL LIBRARY. Edited by WALTER FARQUHAR HOOK, D.D., Vicar of

The Devotional Library was commenced in 1846. The design of the Proprietors
was to publish, at the lowest possible price, a series of Works, original,
or selected from well-known Church of England Divines, which, from their
practical character, as well as their cheapness, would be peculiarly useful
to the clergy for parochial distribution. Since that period the following
have appeared:--

The Sum of Christianity, 1d. ... A. Ellis.
